    I keep freshwater tanks only. I had no idea that saltwater could look like this. I like this way more than the blue light reef tanks. This is truly making me want to try this out some day.

    This is great, On the actual reef, macro algae can be as common as coral depending on the habitat. I really feel many reefers either forget, or never know what is it actually like out there. Some tanks look more like a Pixar movie than an actual ecosystem.

    Very nice work Tobias! It's Travis owner of "WolfDaddysReef" thanks so much for featuring my tank. This is such an interesting slice of the hobby. Coming from the freshwater planted side, we would often mock the "blued-out" unnatural look of reef tanks. Most reef tanks are so formulaic and do not follow the aesthetics championed by people like Takashi Amano. Tanks like Tigahboy's are the reason I left freshwater. I can see freshwater aqascapers picking up macro tanks and doing so much with them, I even messaged Juris JS to try a salt water aquascape.

      I want to get into Macro algae for my green puffer (topaz puffer) tank. It's currently running at SG of 1.015 salinity. Which species do you think would do well? I have no issues with increasing the salinity at this point either.
      These algae are kind of hard to track down in the Netherlands. Any tips on getting some on the european market?

    Regarding the LED light, imo it's inspired by Cinescraper. The guy uses yellow LED bar behind his tanks when shooting and it works magnificently on the overall color's temp and mood tone. It makes his vids not only unique but brings out the best color of his tanks. The same thing was applied here but you have to be more creative with reef tank because the color scheme is wild and psychedelic af!

    As a seasoned fish keeper at saltwater I’d say it’s not easy as having a soft coral tank
    These algae’s need dosing of iron and nutrients constantly or will die
    Stable environment free of algae and so on
    You guys are fooling yourselves thinking that’s done easily it’s not and it’s salt which means you need keep salinity and Kh in check buddy😂
